Context. The heating of the solar corona by small heating events requires an increasing
number of such events at progressively smaller scales, with the bulk of the heating occurring …

Aims. Solar Orbiter, the first mission of ESA's Cosmic Vision 2015–2025 programme and a
mission of international collaboration between ESA and NASA, will explore the Sun and …

After decades of observations of solar energetic particles from space-based observatories,
relevant questions on particle injection, transport, and acceleration remain open. To address …

Our understanding of the formation and evolution of the corona and the heliosphere is linked
to our capability of properly interpret the data from remote sensing and in-situ observations …

Context. The Solar Orbiter spacecraft will be equipped with a wide range of remote-sensing
(RS) and in situ (IS) instruments to record novel and unprecedented measurements of the …

Context. The Extreme Ultraviolet Imager (EUI) is part of the remote sensing instrument
package of the ESA/NASA Solar Orbiter mission that will explore the inner heliosphere and …

The Solar Orbiter mission seeks to make connections between the physical processes
occurring at the Sun or in the solar corona and the nature of the solar wind created by those …

Aims. This paper describes the Polarimetric and Helioseismic Imager on the Solar Orbiter
mission (SO/PHI), the first magnetograph and helioseismology instrument to observe the …

Abstract The Multi-slit Solar Explorer (MUSE) is a proposed mission composed of a multislit
extreme ultraviolet (EUV) spectrograph (in three spectral bands around 171 Å, 284 Å, and …

The main scientific goal of Solar Orbiter is to address the central question of
heliophysics:'how does the Sun create and control the heliosphere?'To achieve this goal …
